I am an organizer and love having my computer desktop clean so when I found this application I was super excited. The miracle application I speak of is RocketDock!
RocketDock is Awesome! The app takes anything you want, links, shortcuts, programs, files and docks them either on the top or on the bottom of you screen! Plus it’s rediculously easy to use.
Download the program here and run the program here.
Once you download the program you can customize the layout to what works for you by opening the “Dock Settings” icon.
The default location for the dock is on the top of the screen but you can also have it docked on the bottom, right and left sides as well.
I prefer to have it docked on the bottom but then I had the problem of the Start bar always being in the way. I solved that problem by simply moving the taskbar to the left side of my screen. To do that simply drag and drop the taskbar to where you would like! You may need to “unlock” the bar by right clicking on the taskbar the unchecking the box that says “Lock the taskbar”. You can also have the taskbar auto-hide in that same properties box.
After you have it docked where you want you can start adding icons to the dock. You can drag and drop from anywhere on your computer and place it in your dock. You can also add seperators to organize your dock even more.
For extra fun, you can change the look of your dock including the style, size or action type. You can download new templates as well as new icons from the RocketDock website. Sometimes you may drag a program or file to your dock and you don’t get a pretty icon so you can download an icon from the website for that reason as well. You can also create your own icon and use that as well! To switch an icon simply right-click on the icon you want to change and go to “Icon Settings”.
So there it is, the easiest (and coolest) way to organize your desktop that I have found so far! Now even though I don’t have a Mac I can FEEL like one of the cool kids!
